WinXP on a gaming PC???!!! Perish the thought. Go for Win2k or better yet Win98. XP takes up a lot of precious space and memory just to run itself. And if you don't have a freakingly fast internet connection you can't get the new 200Mb patch/service pack to solve your XP problems. Most new PCs come with XP installed though. My new office PC did. Reformatted and installed Win2k. Never looked back.

PS: I don't hate Micro$oft

I think you gotta have an XP processor for you to run XP games. Anyway, I'm no PC expert just an enthusiast.
Question about gaming guys, what controller do you use besides a joystick when playing games in your PC?

Hmm, I don't think the logic behind the XP-Processor-to-run-XP-games isn't all that correct. Hehe! Unless this is a trap of sorts, na nagloloko lang si cardinal?

I use a gamepad, joystick plus I've 2 Steering Wheels for both PC and PS2.

Cardinal: CTS?!?!? I had a serious wrist-pain case as well a few months ago. Just a simple turn here and there of the wrist and OUCH! Eventually went away. I guess it was because a) writing - it was just after the finals and lots of writing had to be done, b) typing - and other things you did with the computer, and c) models - I remember building a kit or two at the time.

Result: Painful wrists, especially the right, which also made my palms weak and numb. Scary sh*t I'm telling you. Have you been to a doctor lately? I did when I had the problem. Doc prescribed Vitamin B tablets. Alleviated it. Eventually, after having my hands rest - no writing, typing or using the hobby knife for months I'm telling you - it went away.

My kids just got hold of a deluxe edition of Generals Haven't tried it yet. maybe 2morow morning.. wake up early and beat them to it. HEHEH

Belkin is one of the higher end manufacturers when it comes to PC peripherals, much like Logitech, Belkin focuses more on gaming peripherals.

Forget about IE, forget about Opera, go for Mozilla Firebird! The fastest, most efficient browser around I've tried. Bar None. www.mozilla.org

Trust me, I can vouch for the browser, plus the whole load of in-development extensions and features, will just blow your mind. Para bang, browsing hasn't been this -- good.

Current Games occupying my time:

CnC Generals -- RTS Game, putting ultimate firepower in your hands, 'nuff said.

Sim Golf -- Wasn't really a Sim fan before, but there's something about Sim Golf that's both therapeutic and enjoyable. The game garnered a lot of awards, too. It's Sid Meier, should be enough to have you pick it up. Hehe!

Plus I'm going back to Diablo II.

Splinter Cell was a joy to play, when you're looking for that "Metal Gear-fix".
And the Grand Theft Auto line of games, is just oh, so enjoyable. Living a life ala-Scarface man! Hehe!

Plus of course you've gotta have a sim or two in there, GT3 (Gran Turismo 3) has always occupied loads and loads of my time, made me pick up a Logitech Formula Force for the PS2! IL2, or IIRC IL Sturmovick? is one flight-sim with so much eye candy, too.

Ayan na muna.
